Anisah

At school, Anisah was limited by a lack of halal or non-dairy foods: "I was called a picky eater, but really I had my options taken away. To this day I can't bring myself to eat another jacket potato or plain pasta," says the London-based campaigner. An aspiring doctor, Anisah founded AI-powered mental health app Eleos – and has also created a successful hub to equip young people with the knowledge and resources to create their own social action projects.

Nutrition graduate Faheemah enjoys kicking out manipulation in our food culture as much as she enjoys kicking (for training purposes) outside of Bite Back. As our Communications Executive, she looks after our website and emails. "Children are left out of school meals because of bad eligibility criteria, yet a barrage of rubbish is paraded in front of them by big food companies," says Faheemah. "They need breathing space to grow, rather than worrying about food – a basic human right – and where their next meal is coming from."
